My Thoughts on the Miami Heat

Many people had predicted a 70+ win season for the Heat. I don't think they'll even be close. My view on having 3 ball hogs on the team is that every night only one of them is going to be hoisting up 30+ shots and getting the 30+ points.
Only one of the three guys can take 30+ shots in a single game; therefore, one guy will have 30+ points and the other 2 guys will have between 10-15 points. This was quite evident in the Heat's 1st game of the year. LeBron had 31 while Wade had only 13, and Bosh had only 8.
To further prove my point, in games 2 & 3 Wade had around 30 points each while LeBron and Bosh each had only around 15 each.
This is how it's going to be for the Miami Heat every game. These 3 players have too big of an ego to dial it down a bit to help out the other players. If they would, each guy would have 25 points a game and they'd be blowing people out. They'd need to take fewer shots, but make them more quality by passing to the open star player enabling him to have an easy basket. Then teams would have to be wary of each star on the floor.
No team has 3 shut down defenders to stop these guys if they play with half a brain.
Unfortunately for Miami fans, these players are just selfish and will never try to spread it around.
Instead they all are going for the wrong award. They're going for the points award instead of the NBA Finals award.
